4 Steps to a Stronger Back

Health & Fitness

PLANK

Lie facedown. Rest on your forearms, palms flat on the floor; tuck your toes. Push up off the floor, rising up onto your toes, elbows, and forearms so your back is in a straight line from head to heels.

Hold for 30 seconds, eventually working up to 2 minutes.

STRAIGHT LEG RAISE

Lie on your back with your left knee bent and left foot on the floor; keep your right leg straight.
